CEL Switches are used for diverse applications such as WLAN, Mobile Communications, Wireless Security, Wireless Home Automation, Digital TV and many other RF applications. CEL offers a broad selection of RF Switches with many configurations, package styles and performance attributes. With so many choices, it’s understandable that selecting the right switch can be confusing. Our Wireless Experts make it easier to select the right RF Switch for your application. Inside RF Switch ICs: A Closer Look External DC Block RF Port 1 RF Common Port Q2 Q3 RF Port 2 External DC Block External DC Block Typical SPDT with Series-Shunt Configuration. Internal DC Block Internal DC Block Control Voltage 1 Control Voltage 2 Antenna PA Popular Application Example This popular application demonstrates a SPDT Switch being used to route a RF signal from either a Transmit path or a Receive path to the system antenna. 2 TR Switch LNA RF Switch IC Guide Bidirectional Switch Operation RF1 Our switches are generally bidirectional, meaning that the RF “Throw” ports may be used as input or output ports.

What are the Number of Controls Lines available? 8.What Package Size is ideal? 9. What is the Lowest Cost Solution? Power Considerations for your RF Switches Output Power vs. Input Power It is not recommended to operate a switch at its P1.0dB compression point due to the higher relative insertion loss associated with this power level. 30 Just starting to compress by 0.1dB. Output Power (dBm) 25 20 Better to operate below the min P (0.1) dB point to assure the switch will not contribute excessive loss. 15 10 5 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 Input Power (dBm) 26 28 30 3 RF Switch IC Guide Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) Switches with 0.1 dB Compression Point < 2 Watts Continued on the Next Page.
